Kung Fu School

We traveled, after having a refreshing time in a beautiful hotel and breakfast, to DengFeng. There we were in for a treat! Our first stop was to see the Grottos. Imagine a whole mountainside covered with sculptures of Buddha and Chinese Religious art. It was breath-taking; but there was more. As we reached the center of the rock there stood before us was a huge cliff carved Buddha. This was called “Big Buddha’s Temple.” There stood the most massive sculptures of Buddha, his guards etched in the rock! It was amazing. From there we checked into our refurbished farm houses, which were like little houses per room, and headed to the active temple. We listened the monks pray and sing and then headed out to see the Kung Fu School. That was astounding. Students from ages 7-20 practiced the martial arts. We watched in awe as they flipped, kicked, and sparred with one another. Tomorrow we get our private kung fu lesson with these well developed and skilled fighters! Dinner was awesome and within the city. Sweet and Sour pork was the favorite of the evening! Can’t wait for tomorrow!
